Looks like Y2K finnally showed us who's boss. Watch out now for El Nino

Y2K?

The things Utah will do to get national attention. Utah's Congressional delegation is ignored and has no influence, so this is how to get noticed. Maybe Rob Bishop can get an earmark.

Who needs a Computer to fly?

Who needs a computer to fly? When did GA Aviators and pre Military Aviators forget how to fly without wire? ATC has been a problem for years. If airports would pay the right wages, we could get people, not computers to direct air traffic , not leave it to computers. Yes I fly. But I do my own flying. The true answer, people get a pilots license its much nicer to fly your own aircraft.

How does a system like this not have redundancy built in. No Raid-level 5 infrastructure on something as important as this?
